A Film by Shemi Zarhin
(Israel, 2006, 107 Minutes, Color, Hebrew, English Subtitles, Cast: Assi Levy, Rotem Abuhab, Levana Finkelstein, Dror Keren )



Aviva is a cook at a hotel in Tiberius who has an impressive but secret talent for writing.  With her sister Anita's encouragement, Aviva's writing is brought to the attention of Oded, a well-know writer, who takes her under his wing, promising to turn her into an accomplished author.

The journey to making her dream come true changes Aviva's life and that of those she loves: her unemployed husband, her unhappy children, her unstable mother and especially Anita, a free spirit with dreams of her own.
